15 NEW “Pandemic-Created” Business Ideas in 15 Minutes

26 million Americans are without a job right now, and that's just in the U.S. alone. It's a terrible situation, one that I'm all too familiar with myself having gotten laid off during the recession in 2008. These are tough times, but there are opportunities within them, too. I was able to build a business back in 2008 as a result of getting laid off, and I imagine that those who focus on the future, and the ability to create something new now, are the ones who are going to come out of this dire situation best.

In this video, I'm excited to share 15 new business idea and niche opportunities that have arisen for action-takers during this time. It's not about taking advantage of people's fear though (PLEASE don't do that). It's about using this time to see the new opportunities available – the new problems that have shown up out of no where, and how we can come in and create solutions to help people during this time. Serve first, and you will be rewarded – and a lot of people need help right now.

15 new business ideas in 15 minutes – which one speaks the most to you? Which one do you feel has the biggest opportunity ahead?

Also, don't make these mistakes when trying to make passive income online:

And if you've been affected job-wise by the current situation, I've created a number of free resources on my website to help you during this time, including books and courses to help you start your business, too. We've given away over 2.4 million dollars worth of information, and already people are starting their new businesses today, which is awesome.

Here's a link to that resource:

    I’m going to use 2 of these to adapt what I’m already doing (adding self-directed play to give parental relief) to go with Bible stories for the kiddos free & ad-free on YT & add a membership option. We also learned a lot watching Pat record this live. Join us 8 am daily on The Income Stream!

  • @dustinyarc says:

    Great advice! Look for new opportunities these unique situations present us with, instead of shutting down in fear

  • @kingsalomondotnet says:

    Thanks Pat. Interesting about your first idea. In our family we have 2 girls and 4 boys. We have homeschooled from K through 12. Our oldest is studying to be a respiratory therapist and second oldest has been accepted at Benedictine College in Atchison, KS. What seems second nature to us is probably causing others to panic.

    • @Zo-hc2fn says:

      I am thinking about a new type of restaurants : eating-spots,
      in eating-spots, food keeps changing, chefs also rotate
      this is opposed to current restaurants,
      thanks to this rotation of food and chefs, eating-spots are way more powerful than restaurants,
      along with that, there is an app,
      people vote for the food that will be cooked in the next days,
      menu is influenced by the live input of the people via an app

  • @charlesbrandenclark6500 says:

    Ya know… Thank you so much for making this video Pat… I’ve been in a rut since my tour got cut short and I’ve been trying to find something to help me see some potential opportunities amongst all this cuz I’ve been too deep in my emotional spiral to see them on my own. I needed this video. Thank you

  • @sankalppasricha6403 says:

    Amazing content. It is about being the right person at the right time and I think you have clearly listed out the right niches, that might hold the spotlight in these times . Great job. Thanks

  • @polishedpolite8481 says:

    Thank you for this informative video Pat. I’m pleased that you took the time to express your appreciation to viewers…..too many “get to the point vidoes out there, showing no regard to common courtesy such as “thanks for watching.” Thanks also for the links to additional content/information. Stay well, connected and inspired to you and
    everyone who reads this:)

    (at home) -so effective! Clear, crisp sound, as well. I’m learning so much, here. Thank you, Pat Flynn.

  • @victoriaemm7385 says:

    Great video! Really good ideas too! If anyone needs any kind of online prints done as I am sure this is a big part of the new normal, that’s the way to go! I hope everything works out well in the end for us all when we follow great advice such as this right here 😊

  • @GENXGENZ says:

    Pat I’m going to agree with you, all economic situations it be 2002 2008 or the current 2020 cause huge potential opportunity, as the mould the every day model is broken and people lose jobs lose investment but more importantly get to stop and re-view their own lives. There are going to many more technology opportunities as we are going to start consuming even more tech as we distance more regularly. Great video

  • @vincentjoker4280 says:

    I’m a +6 years investor in stocks and bonds and honestly trading kept me sane over the lockdown. Giving my time and focus to growing my account and it yielded fruits for me I’m already into six figures profit now. Kudos Noud

    • @EButz says:

      I know how lucrative the market is my day trading neighbour just moved out with his stocks profit. Lately I’ve been trying it but it’s feels like high school economics all over again. I’d really love to record some profit to I tried swing trading but I managed to burn up 50% of my capital trying. How have you been doing this?

    • @_Spencer says:

      The trade market is indeed lucrative, as a full time investor I can boldly say it’s where I profit and survive from.

    • @smashndgrab says:

      You make it sound easy. I’ve been trading for a while and coming across licensed pros from a good source like this isn’t easy you know. Most rich folks don’t recommend their broker to others. I won’t pass up this opportunity, If you could be so kind to share his contact, I’d love to have me trades placed by a pro.

  • @those12 says:

    I’m so glad I invested heavily into crypto while the pandemic started and everyone told me that was the dumbest move to do 😅😅😅 now I’m here thinking what business can I start without a loan ☺️
